OpenAI recently debuted a new feature in ChatGPT which supports third-party apps and various platforms. One such integration is Spotify, enabling users to engage with their music and podcasts using the AI chatbot. Want to know how to connect your Spotify account to ChatGPT? Read on to get an easy and descriptive guide.

Here's how to connect a Spotify account with ChatGPT

  • When connecting your Spotify account to ChatGPT, a button labelled “Use Spotify for this answer” gives you the option to connect your Spotify account when you mention Spotify in your ChatGPT prompt. 
  • After using this button, ChatGPT can access your listening history and preferences, and then provide tailored recommendations for tracks, artists, playlists, or podcast episodes according to your taste.

Users can be selective with their requests. For example, one might ask ChatGPT to curate a playlist for a particular mood, event, or even include only their most-listened-to artists.

By tapping on a suggested track or podcast, the Spotify app opens directly within ChatGPT, allowing you to listen right away.

The best part of this functionality is that ChatGPT can also manage your Spotify account by controlling playback, adding or removing songs, and creating or editing playlists. 

But connecting your account means you agree to Spotify’s privacy policy, which outlines data sharing and security measures. Users can disconnect their Spotify account whenever they want.

The inclusion of third-party app features in ChatGPT also allows developers to create new apps to add within the chatbot.
